3. He certainly was a Utopian. I think we know that Marxism just destroyed
human ingenuity and left masses of people poorer than they needed to be. And the only way it could be true was to enforce those values as in communism. And it rotted the societies it was in from the inside out.
It ignored that markets had been a tool of humans since before civilization. And that it allowed people to specialize (as farming did) and that benefited many. Mostly the problem with capitalism is who you let make the regulations (there are always rules). If you let the elites make the rules.. you get the dark ages. If you let the 'masses' make all the rules, you get bad markets and you have to kill the elites.
Somewhere in the middle there is a balance. Called Liberalism.
